Cut a long strip of leather that is 1 1/4" wide and 1" longer than your wrist measurement

Mark 1" at the end of the strip

Cut at least 500 mini book pages that are 1 1/4" x 2"

*You will be folding the 2" pages in half creating a 1 1/4" x 1" book

Fold 10 pages at a time to get the crease

Line them up one by one and hold them together with a clothespin

*You'll need as many of these as it takes to circle your wrist

Add E-6000 glue to the folds and glue them on the rough side of the leather

Keep pages upright with a wood block on each side so the dry properly

Keep glueing book pages along the entire strip except for the 1" at the end

Cut a 1" x 1 1/4" piece of cardboard

Glue your book cover to it to create a mini hardcover for the bracelet

Glue the covers to each end with more E-6000

Add Velcro on the 1" overlap to close the bracelet once it's filled with book pages.
